"Blessed are they who go 'round in circles,

Never mind. Seems 8BITMIME is largely *irrelevant*.

http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html

Sometimes even a blind hog (Ich not DJB) finds an acorn (DJB's pragmatic
note).

I've been trafficing happily in bothway UTF8 AND Chinese plus various
other non-ASCII encoding from Day ONE (4.4X), ditto QMail for many years
before that..

Even tested Chinese UID:PWD (PostgreSQL-resident)

Now and then an issue reading some weird or mixed non-UTF encoding in an
MUA.

Otherwise seamless.

No - that isn't 8BITMIME. Just 8-bit transparent.

Rest is up to the IMAP/POP and MUA.

But seems good enough that there doesn't seem to be a remaining NEED for
8BITMIME, either.

Trying to learn and grown anyway .. just optioned-on:

allow_utf8_domains

Nap time .....
